This is the beginnings of a GitHub repository for a Bioinformatics based Senior Design Project.

CODING TODO

In no particular order:

• Reformat the code so its a set of functions instead of scripts

  • Probably should get rid of the "folder" idea since it makes it difficult to track information through the function.
  • Probably should create a "main" function which calls the subfunctions and handles the data moving back and forth.

• Clean up code!

  • Remove all EVAL statements.
  • Remove all CLEAR statements.
  • Change all LOAD functions to load into a struct instead of loading into the local scope ... this helps make it easy to see where information is comming from.
  • Change any path-related function to use fullfile instead of manually constructing the file-path.

CODING EXPERIMENTS TODO

In no particular order

• Can you find the ruler using only image segmentation?

  • Are they always the same color?

• Can you use OCR to read the 'inches'/'cm' and/or the date?

  • This is probably contingent on the ability to isolate the ruler automatically

• Can you use clustering methods to find the likely color of the wound ... at least from the image I have now it looks like the wound is the most consistent color on the foot.
• Is there a way to automatically isolate a Region of Interest (ROI)? ie. crop out the foot from the exam table, and other background.

• Setup a "report" function using the Matlab publishing tool.

  • You'll need to ask questions about what the users want to actually see in a report.
